Measures of Esteem

Conference Organisation:
I currently Co-Chair the Novel-In-Plane Lasers Conference, Photonics West, San Francisco, am general co-chair for CLEO Science and Innovation 2015, San Jose, having been program co-chair in 2013 and chair of the semiconductor laser subcommittee for CLEO 2010 and 2011. I am also a voting member of CLEO steering. I served as general chair for the 2014 International Semiconductor Laser conference held in Palma, Mallorca and was program chair for the 2012 ISLC held in San Diego.

I am also involved in the organisation of a number of other UK based meetings, workshops and conferences including the annual meeting UK Semiconductors and Semiconductor Integrated Optoelectronics, which has been held in Cardiff since 1986. I serve on the program committees of a number of additional international conferences such as CLEO Pacific Rim and the International Photonics Conference (IPC).

I am a member of the editorial board of IOP Semiconductor Science and Technology and IET-Optoelectronics and have edited 2 special issues of the IEE Proceedings - Optoelectronics on Semiconductor Optoelectronics in 2001 and 2006, 3 special issues of IET - Optoelectronics in 2007, 2008 and 2009, co-edited an issue of IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics on "Solid State Lighting" in 2009 and co-edited SPIE vols 6909, 7230, 7616, 7953, 8277, 8640 and 9002 on "Novel In-Plane Semiconductor Lasers" in 2008-2014.

Teaching

I am currently module organiser for PX3243 "Laser Physics and Non-linear Optics" and also teach on PX3144 "Electromagnetic Radiation Detection".I also take 1st and 2nd year tutorials and supervise 3rd and 4th year projects.
